The more I look into this the more of a clusterfuck it is. The replacement mics are not what I really want or would have chosen. Since the mics they are replacing are no longer produced, I'm screwed. Supposedly they have "experts" who determine what the replacement is. So this is what they picked to replace a set of Toa KY mics. It's crap IMNSHO. The Toa's were over $700 each new back in the late 90's. And the resale value on even new C391 B mics is in the gutter. You can barely give these things away. Nobody's buying them, nobody wants them and nobody even does mods to them. The parts needed to make a set of cables(not really actives) are not available from AKG. So now I'm getting more than a little frustrated. I did find a single extension cable that AKG used to make, did I say I found one. so even if I want to spend the money I can't get a pair. and since the whole purpose was to make the sale more attractive I can't see how adding $400 or more to the price tag, cables or not, is going to help my cause. I'd say the pure extension cable project has been derailed. The goal being keeping the caps and bodies stock while being able to use the cable when you wanted. The only option at this point is to hardwire it and that's not something I am going to do. You;d think the bayonet mount would make it fairly easy to do things but hell no, it's a big big pain in the ass.
